Is it possible to choose positivity, even through pain and loss?
In this episode, fitness icon Derrick Evans MBE - better known as Mr Motivator - joins me for a deeply human conversation about resilience, faith, health, family and the power of perspective.
From his tough beginnings in Jamaica and early life in Britain, to success in business even prior to his TV fame, Derrick shares the lessons that shaped him: gratitude, kindness, hard work and the belief that happiness is a choice we make.
He also opens up about personal loss, being given up at just 3 months old, parenting, prejudice, and what it really means to keep hope alive.
It’s honest, emotional and uplifting - a reminder that while life can test us, positivity is always possible.

We all want to be happy, healthy and fulfilled.
The question is: how?
Project Possible, hosted by me, Rich Leigh, explores this question with incredible guests from the world of business, sport, entertainment, health and psychology.
Between the second and third series, I made the decision to go full-time on this show.
I sold my successful 10 year old PR agency after a heart-breaking family tragedy made me realise that I should run towards passion, purpose and positive impact, and my dream of this being my career.
Possibilists, pull up a pew.
